ProShip is attending Parcel Forum – the ultimate event for B2C and B2B shippers.
In the face of looming economic uncertainty, one thing remains certain: the importance of efficient supply chain and parcel shipping operations. Despite the challenges posed by fluctuating e-commerce market conditions, the need for timely deliveries and meeting customers’ demands remains significant.
This year, supply chain and logistics experts alike will gather for Parcel Forum in Nashville, TN to network and exchange industry insights from the past year. The event will take place from September 11th-13th at the Gaylord Opryland, providing professionals in the small-package industry a platform to engage and interact with others in both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-commerce (B2C) on efficient and effective shipping strategies.
This year’s event is prepared to deliver an exciting agenda, featuring a dynamic variety of keynote speeches, hands-on workshops, and valuable learning sessions. Whether you’re an experienced professional or at the beginning of your career in the shipping world, the 2023 forum offers an abundance of opportunities to engage with peers, other professionals, and those who share a similar passion for the supply chain. Sessions will address a broad range of topics that will benefit every shipper from carrier diversification, last mile returns and the customer experience, and dynamic pricing strategies.
